Most - if not all - sites are not blocked and can be reached freely, but that also means your ISP can keep tabs on you.

I don’t think most VPN that is accessible from China is trustworthy either. There is no way out.
Well as of now we have never heard of someone being in trouble because of Reddit posts. So either they know and don’t care or they just don’t know.
I think they might know, at least they can if they wanted to. Pinning down a reddit post from ISP data is not that hard: reddit don’t put post id in query string, but in the URL, which is unencrypted. With the created time of a post, the added payment link from a VPN, I think they can kind of pin down the author of a post if they really wanted to.But I think most dissenters are not that much of a concern for the CCP, and it would cost a lot of resources to arrest most of them. Especially given there are many low-hanging fruits on Weibo, I don’t think they want to spend the effort to silence such a minority that cannot even be heard by most Chinese.Turns out URL is also encrypted except the base domain (see comment). So it is unlikely they can figure out.
The URL is also encrypted on a https connection, they can only see you’ve connected to Reddit… not what you’re actually browsing: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/privacy-security/https-protect/
It’s called self-hosting, you only have to buy a VPS
If you self host an VPN, meaning that the outbound of your VPS/machine you host VPN can be checked, as least, what IP it connected.
So, you got to buy VPS from foreign country, not in mainland or hongkong
